Judging Criteria

Creativity
Is the idea original and unique, or just a copy of something that already exists?

Technical Difficulty
How difficult was the project to build? Of the technologies used, were they used well?

Aesthetics
Does the project look put together and complete? How is the user experience?

Potential
Could you see this project being used in the future beyond the hackathon, or is it just a one-time deal?
